NEC's Nishigaki Sees Recovery
In Microprocessor Operations

TOKYO -- NEC Corp. said it sees a recovery in its semiconductor operations, company president Koji Nishigaki said, citing a new order from Toyota Motor Corp. for microprocessors for its cars.

Mr. Nishigaki said that NEC has started to make inroads in sectors where it hasn't had much success to date, such as the auto industry. Consequently, the company's semiconductor and electronic devices operations have seen a pick-up in demand, he said.
